Something else that may be a contributing factor to the decline in springers is the general gun public and marketing tactics from companies like Gamo. They think that since it's not a "real gun", it shouldn't cost more than $150. Then they go into Bass Pro or Cabelas and see these $150 springers advertising 1200 fps using crap pellets. They get the gun and can't hit the broadside of a barn with it as a result and then decide that spring guns suck.
If people were properly educated, I think it would be a different story. Like most Americans, they want instant gratification of something being exceptionally good for cheap as they can get. But they're going to learn with the cheapo PCP's and accessories that it's not all unicorn farts and rainbows down the road when things fail.
